Chen Zhao rubbed his chin. "If you have a great research job and a high-paying job, what would you choose?"
"It's a high-paying job," Isaac answered calmly.
His goal had never been to dedicate his life to science.
What he needed was a high salary, fame, and a good life.
He didn't want to be asked by Nanston Kira to work until dawn in the research institute every day.
He didn't want to go into the sea to interact with sharks in the cold.
"If there's a job on an island that's about to be developed," Chen Zhao said. "there are some marine creatures on the island that are clearly different from the commonly known natural creatures. For example, their size. This island is a tourist island. The owner of the island hopes to use these marine creatures to attract tourists, but at the same time, he doesn't want people to be overly suspicious of the origin of these marine creatures. What should I do?"
"It's simple," Isaac replied with a smile.
"How?"
"Hire me."
"I'm all ears."
"Before my island is announced, I will first publish some papers to establish the theory that these marine creatures should exist in the first place. At the same time, it will also give the public some time to adapt and buffer so that when these marine creatures really appear in the eyes of the world, it will not cause such a strong impact."
Chen Zhao suddenly stopped the car. Isaac was stunned. He watched as Chen Zhao stopped the car on the road in the middle of nowhere. He didn't understand what Chen Zhao wanted to do.
Chen Zhao suddenly dug around in his pocket. Isaac suspected that Chen Zhao was going to take out a gun.
Of course not. Chen Zhao took out a checkbook. He wrote a number on it and handed it to Isaac.
Itzhak jumped when he saw the numbers on the check.
One million dollars! It was definitely an astronomical number for him right now.
"Chen … Professor … Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"
"Please quit your current job. I need you to work for me."
"Err … Can I think about it?"
"I just need you to answer. Accept or reject."
"I … I accept."
"Later, you'll receive a confidentiality agreement," Chen Zhao said. "This is my investment plan, and you're a part of it. Of course, I don't need a marine biologist. At least, I don't need the best."
"Of course, I'm not just a marine biologist. I can also be a spokesperson." Isaac was very smart.
He immediately understood what Chen Zhao needed. What Chen Zhao needed was someone to endorse his books.
Someone with a relevant background, such as a professional who had been studying marine biology for a long time.
"I will definitely cooperate with Mr. Chen's plan."
"Back to business," Chen Zhao said. "I want to find your former senior, Homesius."
Originally, Isaac was very tired at this moment.
But suddenly, he didn't feel tired anymore.
His reaction fully demonstrated the saying, money makes the world go round.
Money can solve most problems. Only a few problems require more money.
However, when Isaac brought him to Homesus' house, Homesus wasn't home.
And from the weeds in the courtyard, it could be seen that no one had done any maintenance for a long time.
"Let me see if I can get Homesus' number."
Isaac tried to no avail. He dialed, but no one answered.
Isaac shook his head at Chen Zhao.
"Fine. If you can't find him, then forget it. I'll send you back."
…
When Chen Zhao returned home, it was already two in the morning.
While he was showering, West called.
"West, what's up?"
"President, the number of people who encountered the mutant octopus has increased to ninety-one. The death toll has also increased to three."
Hearing this, Chen Zhao couldn't help but frown. "Didn't they lock down all the beaches in LA?"
"Of course not completely. Other than private beaches, some people sneak onto the beaches. The anti-terrorism security department doesn't have enough people to lock down all the beaches. The only thing they can do is inform the departments in charge of the public coastlines and have them send out notices. Actually, this kind of lockdown doesn't have any enforcement effect."
West paused and said, "Also, the anti-terrorism security department is under a lot of pressure now. Sealing off the coastline is a huge loss to the entire city government every day. Also, fishing boats in the open sea have also caught these mutated octopuses and have been attacked."
"Did you find any useful clues on your side?"
"Not yet. President, what about you?"
"Help me find a person. He's a marine biology expert who specializes in marine soft-bodied creatures. His name is Homesus."
"Is he the key person in this incident?"
"I can't say for sure yet, but I heard some of his recent research directions from other people. I suspect that he's related to this incident."
"Hmm, that's good. I'll mobilize the forces at hand to find his whereabouts."
…
After hanging up, Chen Zhao wanted to go straight to bed.
But then he remembered something. He picked up his phone and called Totty Belster.
Of course, he couldn't use his own phone to call Totty Belster.
People in their line of work always carried some disposable SIM cards.
After asking Belster out, Chen Zhao sneaked into Binance's room.
"Binance, wake up."
"Uh … Uncle … Morning …" Binance squinted. He couldn't open his eyes at all. His expression was uncomfortable.
"Morning. What do you want for breakfast?"
"I don't want anything. Let me sleep a bit more."
"Didn't you say that you want me to take you on a mission?"
Whoa —
Binance bounced up from the bed.
"Uncle, there's a mission?"
"Yes." Chen Zhao nodded.
Binance glanced out the window. "What time is it?"
Chen Zhao checked the time. "Morning, 2: 50."
"Let me sleep a bit more." Binance fell straight down again.
"Raise the temperature in Binance's room. Let him feel the Hawaiian sea breeze."
"…"
Binance gave in. He couldn't stand the wind at 33 degrees Celsius.
After a while, Binance finally got up to wash and change his clothes.
"Uncle, where are we going now?"
"It's a secret. Just follow me," Chen Zhao said calmly.
When the two left, it was already 3: 30 in the morning.
Binance was rather excited. He wasn't worried about any danger.
As a child from a supernatural family, he'd encountered supernatural incidents at a young age.
